Support from an experienced sim team increases the capacity of expert engineers at the customer.<\/h2>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a reason why there\u2019s an eraser on a pencil.\u201d That\u2019s how Dan Saperstein, CATI\u2019s senior vice president of business systems, describes the creative, iterative process of developing a product for the real world using simulation<\/a>. In the early design stages, simulation allows companies greater leeway to experiment and innovate\u2014to design with a pencil, rather than a pen.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCompanies traditionally brought products to market through physical testing,\u201d says Dan. \u201cThey would physically design it, build it, break it, and redesign it until it was no longer broken.\u201d It\u2019s a process that is both time consuming and expensive, and is also limiting in the type of tests that can be performed and the data it is possible to collect from them. With simulation, the story is different. \u201cWe\u2019re able to bring our customer\u2019s process to market a lot faster, allowing for better quality and better innovation. Simulation is no longer a nicety in the marketplace\u2014it\u2019s a necessity.<\/span><\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n

Joe Formicola, CATI\u2019s vice president of CAE simulation solutions, concurs. \u201cI see simulation becoming even more of an important tool for product development. It\u2019s becoming increasingly available because of its ease of use on the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform and the connectedness to CAD, but also because of the computational capabilities that the cloud has allowed us to have.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If the advantages that simulation brings to an engineering firm are hard to overstate, so too are the benefits that come from working with an experienced sim team.<\/h3>\n

This was the logic CATI followed in late 2020, when they acquired Caelynx, an Ann Arbor-based team of simulation consultants specializing in the Dassault Syst\u00e8mes product line of simulation software, which also includes SOLIDWORKS. By bringing on a simulation team with decades of expertise in diverse fields, CATI could better support their own customer base of SOLIDWORKS users by helping them integrate their CAD workflows to a wider range of advanced simulation tools.<\/p>\n

However, as Joe is quick to point out, an expert simulation team is an enhancement to a company\u2019s internal team, not a replacement. \u201cWe want our customer\u2019s expert engineers to have expert tools. But to create these types of easy-to-use workflows that connect to CAD and are very advanced, you need people with experience<\/strong> <\/span>who have in-depth understanding of the physics solvers, of the CAD tools, and who are used to working with customers and helping them implement these tools<\/strong><\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

For as impressive as all that sounds, the depth and breadth of CATI\u2019s new simulation team can best be demonstrated by introducing the individual members. If your company needs simulation support, these are the people ready to assist you.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Contact CATI to bring your simulation capabilities to the next level.<\/h3>\n

With the acquisition of Caelynx, CATI is able to offer something few competitors can match. Joe Formicola, the former CEO of Caelynx, has already seen the value a dedicated sim team can provide customers, and is eager to bring these services to CATI\u2019s customer base. \u201cWe can take SOLIDWORKS CAD and 3D simulation and marry the two on the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform<\/a>, and then bring services to the community that are better than anything else.\u201d<\/p>\n

In many ways, simulation as a service<\/a> is following in the footsteps of SaaS models, which allow businesses to better manage their expenditures. Few companies have the resources to support a large simulation team with a skill set as diverse as CATI\u2019s. But with the CATI sim team to back them up, they can be assured of expert consultation in even the most niche fields, whenever they need it.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn our industry, having seventeen consultants with years of experience specific to different physics-based simulation technology to help our customers is very unique,\u201d says Dan Saperstein. \u201cIt\u2019s a tremendous amount of experience, and we\u2019re really excited to be able to offer that to our customer base. Having the skill set of Caelynx and being able to offer that up to our customers is a tremendous value for them and our organization.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe power of the software and the capabilities of the people using the software are becoming more and more a critical component of the product development cycle.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re interested in working with simulation for the first time or eager to help your engineers achieve their best, the team at CATI is ready to work with you. Contact our service representatives<\/a> to learn more.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
